A supporter of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) holds masks with the picture of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi during a protest in New Delhi on May 8. Opposition leader Modi sharpened his attack on India's election authorities on Thursday, accusing them of discrimination in barring him from holding rallies to back his candidacy in Varanasi. The holy city on the river Ganges goes to the polls on May 12, the final day of India's mammoth general election. Results are due May 16. BJP claims that a Modi wave is sweeping the country and they will win the election. - Reuters/Adnan Abidi
